[Q] ICS (Ice Cream Sandwich 4) for XT720?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-F_ke3rxopc&feature=channel_video_title
Looks amazing.
Probably too early to be asking this - especially considering we only recently got gingerbread - but what do you guys think are the chances of having ICS on the XT720?

Not at all, it req. 512 mb of ram minimum

yup out of question for our dated phone

Oh well. Guess I can begin considering what my next phone is going to be lol.

Well our "What will your next phone be" thread got moved for some reason to the non-phone specific general discussions sections of XDA proper.

getting gingerbread (CM7) run stable on xt720 is the last we can do for our phone
but ICS look amazing, next summer when it gets more popular I'll consider choosing one to upgrade

Honestly, I'm getting very, very, very tired of Google's constant API and apps abandonment cycle. Even if you get an ICS device, Google is bound to abandon it within a year. I am this close to just abandoning Gmail.

I here you going back windows mobile very Lilly.

I'm considering going over to WP7 for my next phone. Not quite sure yet.

Well to those on CM7 or any ROMS based on CM7
try this theme it works great!

Update : I tried the morph and it works flawlessly!

Quite amazing!!!

Well ICS source code apparently is released. Here's hoping to some magic for the XT720! (even if it's not very likely ).

I saw that earlier today. CM9 anyone? Mmm, yes have some. It's delicious. Btw, I got ICS on my Vibrant. Check it out.

Haha to funny woodrube. I hope you ate that and didn't waste it. all in all tho I played with ics a lil bit on my nexus and its pretty sweet. I really like the new youtube app and browser. It was still pretty smooth for being a sdk port. I'm sure you guys will see it before long. The only thing I'm afraid of is the RAM situation. If they get it on the og Droid you guys will get it for sure.

ICS keyboard!
Hey guys,
Another ICS goodie that works great on our phones!
The keyboard is great! prediction is better than gingerbread's imo.
I wish we could change the size of the keyboard though

i was thinking.... if they were able to make ICS run on the Nexus ONE, shouldn't we be able to get it working for the XT720 as well?
both phones are from the same era

[Q] g2x ice cream sandwich

I am a newbie to my G2x from Tmobile.
I do understand that LG has not released an update to upgrade to ice cream sandwich. Right?
So, how do I get Ice Cream Sandwich on my phone? I am computer savvy and can understand instructions if made easy to understand. I know its something about rooting my phone right?
Could someone send me instructions on how to upgrade to Ice Cream Sandwich?
Or is LG planning to upgrade G2x to Ice Cream Sandwich?
Help, please........
Thanks.....
Tracy

Please check the development section.

Yup just like our friend said check the dev section.
When you get there look for clockwork recovery, once you install that make a back up of your current rom and then you can install any rom of your choosing.
I never asked for help when I started so if I can do it you definitely can do it, pm or something if you got any other Q's.

Load ICS for the experience. But don't expect to have a good experience. I'm staying with GB. Sometimes I load up an ICS to check it out. I never stay with it. Wish I could.

This! ICS looks nice and all, but its performance is pretty bad. I've load up countless amounts of ICS roms, but they were never as good as the Weapon rom which is GB. I'm on gensis right now and it lags, gps never locks. Might just go back to weapon in a few days.

Try the new "Hackfest" JB CM10 build in the dev section! It is awesome, and is reaaly freakin' smooth, better than a lot of the ICS ROMs out there.

Do u know if Wifi calling works on that JB CM 10 build? I got my GB Tom all setup nicely and don't wanna flash JB to find out it doesn't work. I know in ICS Rome it didn't. I'm dependent on Wifi calling as I live way out in the sticks and HAVE TO connect to my wireless router with Wifi calling to do anything at home.

The source drop has built in support for the 990 and 999 so once they get the compiles done its full HWA ICS so should solve all the issues in the hackfest roms given a week or two.

Wait until someone makes a port and proper fully working ROM for our phone, the hackfests are fun, but not for anyone who needs anything stable/daily.

{Poll included} Which FUll ICS based rom are YOU looking forward too

so as we all no Nexx is hard at work getting the 3.0 kernel ready and just about every dev is going to want to use it to fully harness ics on our DS so i wanted to know which ics rom everyone is looking to use as their main one and why, so i'll kick things off
right now i'm leaning towards Blindice as my main rom, i've tried the latest cm9 and a whole load of other ics roms and blindice seems the most stable for me so far, also got the best connectivity out of all the ones i've tried so far

Nice thread
I'm looking forward to Sense based ROMs in the long run, but I don't think they will be ready for a while, to the point where they are customizable with RCTweaks etc.
So I'm looking at CM9. I don't think there will be CM9 Stable so soon. Remember CM7.2 started in December 2010. They got a couple if RC out during January > April. But the final version came October. I'm guessing that officially we will get CM9 RC pretty soon. And the final version with all the tweaks/themes done will come by October like it did with CM7.
If you look at CM9 now, they have a lot of placeholders.

RC = Release candidate. It is a build that has been tested quite alot, and has potential to become the final build. This is one step ahead of the nightly builds. Then once they decide which is the stablest RC, it becomes the stable/final.
I certainly agree with you. When Reaper first came, I held off it, for some reason I do not know why, but I recently tried Reaper (in fact still on it currently) and its fantastic.
Yeah some sense apps are excellent and are the main reasons I use it, particularly the camera app. Its miles ahead of AOSP ones.

I'm not to sure about the actual quality, but the UI of the Sense camera app is better.
Simply because it allows touch-to-focus video, face detection, and instant snap mode.

God damn, now I'm considering going back to Endymion, just to have face detection back... cool but pointless feature
Touch to focus works on the CM camera app, but it doesn't work while shooting video.
How often do you use your cam? I only ever use it during holidays or special events. The last time I used it for proper shots (not just the odd picture) was during Christmas.
If I ever want to go back to Endymion, I'm only a Nandroid away

it's not stupid.. i would use blindice, but the overwhelming support for a sense based one would make me try that and likely stick with it.. once the kernel is released most of the roms will all get to a point where every feature works.. on all of them.. therefore it will be the extra merits of the roms for example speed, performance, addons, customisability etc, this thread is too see which one people are looking forward to, thats why i said stable

Continuing on the discussion reg camera, I have observed tha the STOCK Sense camera gives better pictures with lesser noise nad smaller file sizes...

I'd like to see a full Sense 4 port, only reason I'm looking forward to Kernel 3.0. That and 60 FPS graphics across ICS

i'm waiting for a sense 4 rom too, using cm9 atm as i want ICS with a working camera (no sense rom has a bugless camera...)

MIUI Galnet, anyone using this?

I stumbled across this on rootzwiki, I guess it is an ICS version of MIUI. Either way, I was curious why there are no Galnet ROMs here on XDA. It runs android 2.3.9, and can use the MIUI modified Morfic ELP and T15 kernels.
Anyone besides me giving this a shot?

Its been out for a while and its half ass ics meaning it isn't ics just has framework from within it. If you search the right stuff you'll find a thread about it... and galnet doesn't allow there links on xda for some reason.

Yea I don't care if it's fully ICS or not. It runs well on my phone with the T15 kernel and I did the GUI over most GB and I'm starting to like this more than ICS. MIUI has a LOT of customization and themes which is awesome since I'm always changing ROMs.
I was looking around and I saw some stuff about Galnet being banned from XDA for whatever reason. Oh well, rootzwiki is where it's at for this ROM, the latest build was on 4/17 if anyone is interested.

Yeah I've run the galnet MIUI with the trin 1.56 kernel. Runs good enough and I've always been a supporter of MIUI, and generally fall back to it even on my g2x. Usually I run singh-ui from here on xda. I've heard that MIUI China at least is dropping P990 GB so our ports are likely done after the 4-17 and 4-20 ports. MIUI Scotland or galnet may keep going though.

JB can take all the time in the world. I'm still soaking in ICS. I'm totally satisfied with what our devs have done, and it wouldn't bother me a bit if they didn't mess with JB. There's still a lot of potential to be found with our ICS right now anyways. Just let it go, and if one of them want to do it, they will. Or, you can slide one of them a chunk of cash and tell them what you want, lol.

It doesn't hurt to discuss it. Once people become annoying with requests for JB, then it's a different story.
I wonder how smoothly it actually runs on the SGS.

I mean, it's based on a new and improved code but also is based on the assumption of running on better devices.

I was under the impression that Project Butter indicated the emphasis on performance in JB. So could it be that if (or hopefully when) it gets ported over, it could actually end up being smoother than ICS?

Smoother than ICS. Just got done playing with a test build of CM10 on my other phone(I727). Zero lag and I mean zero. Whether will be able to port it remains to be seen and the ICS ROMS we've gotten over the past month are huge. Still never hurts to discuss it.

@hechoen But then again, the SGS 2 has a dual-core processor. Our hardware may be too outdated.

Regarding OP
It'll be a little bit.
We're still trying to get ICS under control. We're using a GB kernel (2.6.35.7) modified to work with ICS (ics was designed for 3.0.8). We still have issues with sleep and a number of other issues we have noted on our github.
Granted, we will release a source built Jellybean build at some point and it will be based off of what the Galaxy S & variants device maintainers do, but we are still playing catch up to them on Gingerbread and Ice Cream Sandwich.
I hate giving ETAs, but we'll have something within the next month and a half.
